We are hearing that Prano Bailey-Bond’s superb Censor starring Niamh Algar, is set to get a Limited Edition Blu-ray release on 31 January 2022. Algar stars as a film censor during Britain’s infamous ‘video nasty’ era, whose work slowly becomes entwined with her past.
Enid (Algar – Deceit, The Virtues) spends her days meticulously watching and assessing gruesomely violent and disturbing movies, taking her work as a film censor very seriously. She holds a strong sense of responsibility in protecting audiences from extreme content, subconsciously driven by the guilt she holds from a disturbing childhood trauma.
When a troubling film lands on her desk, Enid finds herself embroiled in the story and slowly starts to uncover some of her lost memories that seem strangely similar to the film. Consumed by the need to find if there is a connection between the production and the disappearance of her sister, her life spirals out of control, descending into darkness and danger.
